CDG Airport to Orly Airport Transfer Services
Compare practical ways to travel from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Paris Orly, with route-specific timing, cost guidance, and comfort differences.
A transfer from CDG to Orly is not a typical city trip. You are moving between two major airports on opposite sides of Paris, often with checked bags and a departure deadline at the second terminal. For most travelers, the best option is the one that protects connection time rather than only the lowest ticket price.
Road journeys usually take around 40 to 70 minutes depending on terminal exit time and motorway traffic on the A86 ring and southern approaches. During weekday rush periods, that window can stretch. Booking in advance helps you avoid arrival queues and gives a clearer plan when your inbound flight lands later than expected.
Public transport can reduce cost, but it normally requires at least one change and more walking between platforms. If you are traveling with children, heavy luggage, or a tight onward check-in window, a direct vehicle is usually the safer choice. If you have a flexible schedule and light bags, rail and bus combinations can still be viable.

Use this guide to choose the right transfer style for your connection time, luggage load, and preferred travel comfort between both Paris airports.
Charles de Gaulle and Orly serve different airline networks, so many passengers connect between them on separate tickets. That means your transfer plan should include more than road time. Add buffer for passport checks, baggage reclaim, terminal exits, and the check-in cutoff at Orly. Missing one stage can affect the entire itinerary.
Traffic is the main variable on this route. Midday travel can feel efficient, while early mornings and late afternoons often move slower around major junctions. If your onward flight is long-haul or non-refundable, paying for a direct pickup from CDG can be a practical hedge against uncertainty because you remove ticket lines and transfer decisions after landing.
Taxi and private car options are similar in journey time, but the booking experience differs. Rank taxis are useful when you prefer immediate departure and can accept meter-based totals. Pre-booked services are usually chosen for fixed pricing and clear pickup instructions. Families also prefer booking ahead when they need child seats or extra luggage space.
Rail remains the budget-focused alternative, typically using RER B with an Orly connection segment. It can work well for travelers carrying one cabin bag and arriving in off-peak periods. However, platform changes and station walking increase effort, especially after overnight flights. Always check service notices because strikes or maintenance can alter transfer times.
Before you travel, keep your second flight details handy, confirm terminal information, and decide in advance how much risk you can accept on timing. A connection with several hours to spare gives you room to save on transport. A tighter window usually favors the most direct route available. Matching transport type to your real schedule is the key to a smooth CDG to Orly transfer day.
